Friend just gave me a pair of them, w/ bridge.
Thinking of getting a molex>PCIE adapter and adding one to my f@h rig next to my GTX 460.
Should add about 4k per day.
Anyone used one of these to fold with?
Not sure if it's worth the electricity but figure it's worth a try.
Thanks
Anyone used a 8800 GT?
Probably will not work. Reason is that the 8800 is a non-Fermi and the GTX 460 is Fermi. Don't think they play nice together especially when folding.Humboldt wrote:Friend just gave me a pair of them, w/ bridge.

But as you say it's worth a try. I still have 1 or 2 8800's lying around that for the cost of shipping I'd send to someone. Still in box I received in so should still work but not guaranteed.

No luck so far. When I add the 8800 the 460 stops folding, even before I add the 8800 the the f@h client.
If I add the 800 to the client it shows up fine but neither of the 2 show any progress at all.
Trying to figure out if changing the slots around with the gpu-index might help at all.
It's probably still possible if a old, old client were used, but not sure any work units are available for some of the older clients.Mark wrote:been a long time since i was folding, but couldn't ya set them up with separate instances of folding clients ?
Newest FAH Control package v7.x.x does all the assigning and everything almost automatically anymore with very little if any input (other than user id and team number).
Come on back Mark, still a pretty good team going.

From what I've read you can change the slot index manually in the config.xml file.rickoic wrote:It's probably still possible if a old, old client were used, but not sure any work units are available for some of the older clients.

Any tips for installing different drivers for the 2 Nvidia cards? Everything I see is just in .exe format, and when you install it it installs to both video cards.
Thanks
